by Pejman Habibie Sally BurgessThis edited book addresses the complex topic of writing for scholarly publication by early-career scholars. Drawing on self-study and auto-ethnographic perspectives, a group of international early-career researchers share their personal histories, narratives and first-hand accounts of their scholarly publication practices. The book helps paint a richer and more nuanced picture of the experiences, success stories, failures, and challenges that frame and shape academic trajectories of both Anglophone and English as an additional language (EAL) scholars in writing for publication.
